Video: Michelle talks health care, the economy, and Gatesgate on “This Week”
posted at 1:10 pm on August 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
The boss just posted her round-up of the morning’s events (“civil, if slightly strained”) so read that for a recap. Kudos to Stephanopoulos for having her on despite the predictable screeching from the left and for giving her a rare shot at a roundtable discussion. In three years of watching her on Fox, I can’t remember a single case of that happening.
The first clip is the roundtable, the second is the slightly awkward greenroom discussion about Gatesgate afterward. Click the images to watch. If you can’t devote 20 minutes to the first, skip ahead to the last four minutes for the exchange about racial politics and “teachable moments.” Incidentally, shortly before this aired, TurboTax Tim dropped by the set to tell Steph that The One might just have to break his promise and raise taxes on the middle class after all. Surprise.

The “Boss” is way to informed for the putzes on that panel. The looks of disdain were palpable. She was the smartest person in THAT room by far.
ndulik on August 2, 2009 at 1:14 PM
Al Hunt looks a little nervous and uptight…Cynthia has a little jaw clinch going on
d1carter on August 2, 2009 at 1:18 PM
So glad you’re back, Michelle. I’ve miss you a lot.
savvydude on August 2, 2009 at 1:23 PM
sorry, “missed”.
savvydude on August 2, 2009 at 1:23 PM
A teachable moment?? Teach this… Dr. Orly Taitz filed this document in California Superior Court on 8-1-2009 claiming she got it via subpoena from no less than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Come on man, you just knew there was a reason Obama appointed her SecState. Game over man…. Game Over….
doriangrey on August 2, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Perhaps, but this unbiased, paragon of virtue (aka Stephanopoulos, who was senior political adviser to Bill Clinton and Clinton’s communications director) couldn’t help respond to everything Michelle said with a sigh of exasperation. He immediately questioned and/or disagreed with everything she said while nodding in agreement with all the other distinguished guests.
Add Stephanopoulos to the definition of “tool” along with Matt Lauer.
yubley on August 2, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Watched it this morning. I thought Michelle did great, but she was definitely “holding back” a little. When she’s on FOX, she usually comes out with both barrels blazing. I guess she wants to be invited back on This Week.
UltimateBob on August 2, 2009 at 1:25 PM
She looked great. She was also smarter then anyone on the panel.
That said, no disrespect, pull the hair back, so when they show the side shot, people see your face.Also don’t mention the book. People will find it.
I hope she is invited back, and she will continue to improve.
Truth is on her side.
tottoritodd on August 2, 2009 at 1:32 PM
I love this tweet:
Yeah right he only has ppl with brains and gravitas. Katrina vandel Huevel said on his show that Jimmy Carter and Al Gore were the greatest speakers of her time. That’s brains? He’s had Arriana Huffington on his show too. I don’t think of intellectual gravitas when I think of HuffPo.
terryannonline on August 2, 2009 at 1:33 PM
Could Cynthia Tucker inject any more botox to her face?!
Anyway, Michelle did great, but I do I agree that she held back a little.
Boy George still kissing Obama’s ass. Defending him throughout the whole roundtable like a good little socialist he is.
jencab on August 2, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Tell the government to keep his hands of my medicare!!!!!!!
funny isn’t?
If the government cannot run health care maybe it is time to drop medicare
liberal343 on August 2, 2009 at 1:37 PM
WHAT ABOUT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!?!?!!!
Pablo on August 2, 2009 at 1:37 PM
That is not what it says. The filing is here.
Pablo on August 2, 2009 at 1:41 PM
I didn’t know who Cindy Tucker was until I watched the clip. Man, if looks could kill, she would be in a cell next to Gates for killing Ms. Malkin. She is obviously a liberal tool, and if she doesn’t know what Gates was arrested for, and thinks the 1st Amendment gives him a free ride, then she is right not to believe in “teachable moments”, cause she is unteachable.
kam582 on August 2, 2009 at 1:41 PM
Cynthia Tucker’s face when MM was talking about the black police officer in the Gates case= priceless.
Pasalubong on August 2, 2009 at 1:43 PM
This is vintage Cynthia Tucker
Gitmo Detainees are no different than Ellis island immigrants.
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Cynthia Tucker is a good example of “there is none so blind as he who will not see.”
backwoods conservative on August 2, 2009 at 1:46 PM
MM did a great job considering the entire panel seemed to be against her. It wasn’t much of a book promotion but it’s good to see her getting her views on TV. I’m still not sure why she isn’t a regular on the prime time shows on FOX.
USAF_RET on August 2, 2009 at 1:47 PM
1. Yes, there was racial profiling involved. But Gates and Obama were the one who was doing it. Crowley was dispatched to the scene with no knowledge of the race of the suspect.
2. MM nails it. ObamaCare transitions us from redistribution of wealth to redistribution of health, rationing health care for senior citizens so as to grant health care to illegal aliens. It’s a liberty issue that subordinates our health care to bureaucrat bungling, political spoils and vote-buying.
petefrt on August 2, 2009 at 1:47 PM
It is called ratings and sponsor’s, Kudos my butt
Wade on August 2, 2009 at 1:48 PM
*ones who were*
Ugh.
petefrt on August 2, 2009 at 1:48 PM
Still waiting for Michelle’s appearance on the View. joy Behar is sharping her claws (not like she can actually do any real thinking)
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 1:50 PM
Is this another read my lips no new taxes on the middle class. Boy crap and tax and obamacare should fail after the idiot said this.
Brat4life on August 2, 2009 at 1:51 PM
BTW I have to say I love how the media is trying SO HARD to make Obama’s falling poll numbers all about this gates snafu.
Its the economy stupid.
And Michelle you have to watch the lefts “Oh you heartless big meanie conservatives” class warfare garbage. Should have told them “How about Obama creating jobs instead of forcing people to live off their unemployment benefits ?”
That would have been a better way to phrase that. The left has gotten good at any attempt to cut programs = hatrid of the poor.
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 1:53 PM
I think Michelle was off on unemployment, primarily the point about unemployment benefits being extended, during the Clinton years there were plenty of jobs available, but some people took advantage of benefits and and didn’t accept viable work. That situation isn’t true in the current climate, there simply aren’t many jobs available.
A better cure would be to open up oil and coal, which would have a multi-layered effect of not just providing direct employment, but revitalizing the economy through lower fuel prices. The direct and inderect impact of opening up oil and coal production would probably be enough in and of itself to lift the country out of the recession.
I am not going to get into how good strategically opening up our oil and coal production would be, that is another discussion.
Rode Werk on August 2, 2009 at 1:54 PM
Michelle looks just like the rest of us feel when we’re in a room full of liberals. The conversation in our heads goes something like this:
“My God these people are so fuc*ing stupid. Must not say that out that loud. Must not say that out that loud.”
Rational Thought on August 2, 2009 at 1:56 PM
Her “unemployment benefits extension” argument was the worst I have heard in my life
liberal343 on August 2, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Not so far fetched
1 Million Britians havent had a job since 1998.
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Good. We wouldn’t want you changing your mind on anything. You fit in just fine where you are.
Limerick on August 2, 2009 at 2:02 PM
MM’s first time. Outnumbered. But Cynthia Tucker is about 99% less then anyone on this site. I hope she will do better on The View.
I had hoped for her to do better. But I haven’t ever had that pressure.
I love Pajama’s Media. But it is still a little 2nd rate, but moving up. A strong conservative Senator, or Rep, or Author needs to DEMAND to go on Maddow or Olby. Or CNN. DEMAND!!!! A brave lib would have demanded to debate Limbaugh. They haven’t!!!they are scared! We shouldn’t be. Whoever goes on MSNBC, even if we have to humiliate them to do so, is the new Reagan. No fear. Just truth. That’s all Reagan had.
tottoritodd on August 2, 2009 at 2:04 PM
There were a few great moments, but I think Hunt’s taking a page from Obama’s book was nice. After discussing the situation and injecting his view he says he doesn’t know the facts.
Why do idiots still insist on crying “racial profiling” when discussing the Gates incident?
Police officer responds to 911 call about a possible B&E. Police officer finds a person in the house – asks for proof of residence.
Wait – I see now – he unfairly profiled the person in a house that a witness thought may have been broken into as the person who may have broken in.
I say take his badge.
RDuke on August 2, 2009 at 2:05 PM
OMG… Check out Cynthia’s glare at Michelle right after Michelle is introduced. Watch from 20:01 – 19:57.
Holy crap does that woman drip disdain for MM….
katy on August 2, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Malkin really comes off as shrill and childish when surrounded with level-headed, thoughtful people. She’s much more in her element in an O’reilly factor type setting.
crr6 on August 2, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Poor Michelle, I would hate to spend my Sunday morning dealing with a bunch of leftest dolts. And that Cynthia woman is one scary looking bimbo.
conservnut on August 2, 2009 at 2:10 PM
“economic comeback”
what a great objective title.
TTheoLogan on August 2, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Yep that was pretty hilarious. “I’m not making a moral judgement” haha.
crr6 on August 2, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Behar is doubling up on her(?) testosterone.
Wade on August 2, 2009 at 2:15 PM
Look, as the recess begins the entire MSM came out with economic recovery stories. All the local network affliates repeat it over and over. This is all going on while citizen Joe has just finished his 30th job interview. “Happy Days Are Here Again” is going to last exactly six weeks. By the time congress sits down again citizen Joe will have been on his 50th interview, and he won’t be toe-tapping. 1979 move over, ’cause 2010 is going to be a humdinger.
Limerick on August 2, 2009 at 2:16 PM
When is that going to happen?
Wade on August 2, 2009 at 2:16 PM
Yeah, I thought it was the perfect moment to bite back on the failure of the stimulus and she missed it.
ProfessorMiao on August 2, 2009 at 2:18 PM
You base that on what facts, or are you feeling it?
Wade on August 2, 2009 at 2:19 PM
That was excellent Michelle. Cynthia Tucker came off true to form, the perpetually angry liberal. See you tomorrow on “The
VentView”.Zorro on August 2, 2009 at 2:20 PM
I will repeat my question since no ring wing nut wants to answer. Should the government get rid of medicare? Because according to conservatives the government shouldn’t be in the health care business. One more question, should the gov also outsource the military health care to a private company?
liberal343 on August 2, 2009 at 2:23 PM
That would be ideal, liberal, because i’ve been dealing with a health care issue in the military for over 6 months without a resolution.
TTheoLogan on August 2, 2009 at 2:26 PM
The View is going to be Michelle in the Colosseum. Bring your armor, Michelle. We need a Spartacus.
Limerick on August 2, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Michelle Malkin is simply the best.
sinsing on August 2, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Unemployment insurance? Of all the things to stake out a precarious rhetorical position on…you pick unemployment insurance?
ernesto on August 2, 2009 at 2:29 PM
liberal363 & crr6 and the rest….seriously now..you uber lib/lefties are sounding weaker and more pussybeta with every new post because of the lame child level responses you’re blubbering forth. Its almost like your insecurities are tracking Maobamas slipping mask and poll numbers.
Sad, really. Its not too late to seek help..remember, its never too late to pull your head out of your ass and start to live a real life based in real values.
Itchee Dryback on August 2, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Hospitals already treat the uninsured. The only limit is extended stay. You could get rid of Medicare and not miss it.
The military gives their service to the government. They risk their lives to portect the society. That is a special case that causes special requirements.
Honestly look a British health care to see how bad it can get. There is a limit to any supplies. If you throw millions of new people into the system that depletes the health care for all.
Workers can and should get healthcare. The poor should get lesser health care. Currently its a user system which means that those who contribute to it via insurance or paying their bills SHOULD get better care and more services than those who only abuse the system without adding anything.
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Hey lefties ask youself why if Obama’s plan is working why are we even talking about needing to extend unemployment ?
Talk about a left wing disconnect. Admit it Obama and the Congress have been major failures.
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 2:31 PM
It is unfortunate that the Gates case continues to be a discussion about racial profiling when it is clear that case had nothing to do with racial profiling. Shame on those who still pretend that it does.
The Gates case is a matter of the individual’s right of free speech vs. a police officer’s right to arrest (or at least detain) someone who is hindering their investigation.
Clearly Crowley felt Gate was uncooperative to the degree that the investigation into the reported burglary of Gate’s home was being hindered, and Crowley reacted in a way most officers – including the Black officer on the scene – felt appropriate.
It should be pointed out as well the irony of Gates claiming of being emblematic of this country’s problem with racism to an African American mayor, an African American governor, and of course an African American president.
DarkKnight3565 on August 2, 2009 at 2:32 PM
So in your opinion the government should let a private company run the military health care?
What about Medicare? Should it be dropped? Last time I checked it was government run. BTW Michelle Malkin’s argument was so bad is now a Huntington Post front page story
liberal343 on August 2, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Maybe if you asked your question with some civility and really wanted an intelligent conversation, someone would answer. In the mean time it is self evident on Medicare that if you were well versed on the subject you would know the answers yourself. EODwU
Wade on August 2, 2009 at 2:34 PM
It was good, but I was about to jump through the TV screen at the lady from the Atlanta Journal talking about the greatness of Medicare as a government controlled health care policy.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM! The whole reason we need REFORM is Medicare is making us bankrupt. It’s not the insurance companies. Medicare is ‘great’ because it costs too much.
Medicare pays 30% less to doctors and hospitals than private insurance does. Medicare is funded by BOTH taxes from working people AND contributions from Medicare recipients for part B (100/mo) generally taken from their social security check each month before they know it is missing.
With a 30% advantage in paying claims, and tax money funding, and SS grifts funding Medicare. . . we are STILL going bankrupt for Medicare by 2017.
THIS is the reason we need ‘health care reform’. The private insurance company profits aren’t as important as the inept ability of Medicare to be solvent. 60B in fraud each year would put an insurance company out of business. I’d be willing to bet that insurance company profits are not more than 60B dollars a year. . . which is what Medicare WASTES every year.
Is Medicare a good program run by the government? Yes it is. But it is EXPENSIVE. Individuals under 40 years old will pay into it for their entire lives and get NOTHING. They are already means testing it (something they said they’d never do). . . and this is what they say we should do with the rest of the insurance market.

William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 2:34 PM
I’d like to see Social Security and MediCare combined and restructured as a way to care for our elderly when they have no one else to care for them. Families should take care of families, but when an elderly man or woman has no family I think we should take care of their basic needs.
No on the privatizing military care. You need doctors, nurses and medical techs as part of the team.
darwin on August 2, 2009 at 2:34 PM
I thought Al Hunt passed away in 1997.

Janos Hunyadi on August 2, 2009 at 2:37 PM
I so love the left and their “Compassion> Hey lets give everyone government Cheese and stick them in housing projects and give them poor medical care disguised as total coverage.
That is compassion I refuse to buy into because I want to be honest and not deceitful.
William Amos on August 2, 2009 at 2:40 PM
Medicare will be BROKE by 2017. Whether or not you think the government should ‘get rid of it’, it will be GONE before people under 40 get to get the coverage because it is insolvent.
Medicare benefits are too expensive for our government to provide. If they extend the Medicare system to the rest of the health care system in a single payor mode, hospitals will go bankrupt.
Everyone will have Medicare but no doctor to see when they get sick. Thanks congress.
ThackerAgency on August 2, 2009 at 2:40 PM
Watchout everyone, it’s the idiot hag-troll Janos. She is a nasty birther and will post out of context quotes from months ago in an attempt to smear you. Consider yourselves warned, this is one nasty, dumb troll.
crr6 on August 2, 2009 at 2:45 PM
So whats the fix then? get rid of medicaid and privatize it? Tell me how medicaid should be fixed.
liberal343 on August 2, 2009 at 2:47 PM
No, it is not practical to put that genie back in the bottle (Medicare + military health care).
Dreadful as it is to admit, the unfunded mandate of Medicare is already going to be a colossal hit to the economy for many years into the foreseeable future
Anyone with any brains or experience with these two government-run systems knows that they are rife with waste, inefficiency, fraud, political gamesmanship and substandard care.
There are many efficiently managed, competitive health-care packages out there now that one honestly cannot say these things about. Such health-care products are accessible to average Americans yet are far superior to Medicare & the military system. No sane person using such plans should want this socialist boondoggle to permanently distort and ultimately destroy their health plans.
Anyone who likes the ability to choose their own medical-care path, to pay for care freely without government imposition, should not want the entirety of American health care to be “Medicare-ized.”
Edouard on August 2, 2009 at 2:47 PM
Michele’s cute, but a little overanxious, it seems.
RWLA on August 2, 2009 at 2:48 PM
Michelle said, “But there was no racial profiling, that’s the point.”
And that tool Al Hunt just brushed it off with, “Well, we don’t know the facts.”
In other words, he would rather ignore the obvious truth in favor of continuing the “profiling” meme.
Geez, Al, do you believe that Crowley was just riding around and said to himself, I think a black guy must live there, so let me go see what he’s up to
guntotinglibertarian on August 2, 2009 at 2:49 PM
Overanxious? It’s 4 against 1 on national television and she’s just positioning herself so they don’t start ganging up and talking over her.
guntotinglibertarian on August 2, 2009 at 2:51 PM
Yes, a warning from an Angry Fat Girl: What are you, thirty pounds overweight? Forty? You’re repulsive to the opposite sex, Nearing Obesity, can’t get laid, and apparently molested as a child. So, on every thread, you start off with insults to everyone who disagrees with you, and hope for more abuse
Lose some weight, maybe do the Botox Thing, therapy, etc. You’ll still be fat & ugly & alone, but it might help.
Maybe you can hook up with 343; he needs some Big Girl Love
Janos Hunyadi on August 2, 2009 at 2:51 PM
WHAT ABOUT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!?!?!!!

By the way, which one do you mean? This one? Or the other one?
RD on August 2, 2009 at 2:37 PM
Seems as if there isn’t any interest in denying or confirming this birth certificate by anyone here.
nwsseeker on August 2, 2009 at 2:51 PM
Stephanopoulos needs to get a serious economics education and fast if he is going to host Geithner any more. Timmy made Georgie look like a complete sponge! Not brought up or even hinted at: failure to bail out CIT, lender to Main Street businesses; the coming meltdown in Commercial Real Estate Mortgages (look at any commercial road in your city or town – how far do you have to go to find ten empty store fronts with For Rent signs in them?); the failure of job creation (a job does last more then 35 hours!) in the small business sector due to cascading consumer slowdown.
Congratulations to MM, she fended off a lot of smirks and discriminatory behavior from these jerks of journalism (needs to be a new beer-drinking category – Real Jerks of Journalism) to hold her own and offer truly alternative views of the news from these pikers.
I’m serious, Georgie, get an economics lesson or fifty before you look like a dumba$$ again.
ExpressoBold on August 2, 2009 at 2:53 PM
LOL! They act so smug but one guy wasn’t even aware that the 911 call had been released and that we now know there was no racial profiling involved in the incident. A few others thought that public support of health care “reform” somehow translates into a total socialist takeover and “transformation”. I could go on with the list of absurdities but I’d have to watch again and take notes itemizing the myriad ways smug is often synonymous with stupid.
FloatingRock on August 2, 2009 at 2:55 PM
You’re too easy to toy with hun. I mirror your language and you explode. Such an angry, angry fattie. Grab a tub of ice cream and relax sweetie.
crr6 on August 2, 2009 at 2:55 PM
I think any honest and reasonable person watching the first segment would clearlty see 4 against 1. Michelle was fresh and just managed to get in enough conservative information on a show that never allows it. Hopefully the curious will research further the points she makes. I think for her first time out she did very well. MM and SP are the only two people who could ever get me to watch ABCOBAMA.
Now I’ll watch the 2nd clip…
CCRWM on August 2, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Judging from the troll turnout on this thread, I’d bet the lefty blogs are flaming at ABC and Stephanopoulos for having MM on their show.
But at least there’s one good troll idea above: After we defeat ObamaCare, we should privatize veteran care and medicare.
petefrt on August 2, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Michelle, you did great. You were the only one there with your eyes open and a smile on your face.
FloatingRock on August 2, 2009 at 2:58 PM
yeah, great job of ‘mirroring’. I really did “explode” there, as only a Really Smart Troll would regognize.
You seem to focus on Sarah and Michelle: Attractive women are a real threat to Hogs, aren’t they? So much envy…….
Janos Hunyadi on August 2, 2009 at 3:00 PM
Our Michelle held her own. If was difficult to watch as she spoke the truth and poked holes in Obama’s failing health care initiatives, only to have the other four wanks on the panel constantly stick up for Obama like he was their mama.
And that liberal witch from the Atlanta Constitution, the only “black” person on the panel, actually came out and said, yes, those cops from Cambridge WERE STUPID.
That’s when I switched channels.
fogw on August 2, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Good job , outnumbered but not outgunned.
A bit calmer than the view but the same massive stupidity.
the_nile on August 2, 2009 at 3:02 PM
In the 2nd clip MM has this look as if to say see America this is the idiocy (looking athte other 3) that has taken over…WAKE UP! I love her, she is just great.
CCRWM on August 2, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Care to define that word for us Janos? I’m sure it must be hard to type with fat fingers…
crr6 on August 2, 2009 at 3:05 PM
Michelle is the most appealing, articulate woman of the right. Always calm, never shrill, knows her stuff and knows how to hold her own.
guntotinglibertarian on August 2, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Being from England but having grown up in the states, I know something about this first hand. Most of my relatives are good, hard-working people. A few, however, do not fall into that category.
I’ve always had this theory about why so many great musical artists/bands continue to come from such a small island. The reason is called “being on the dole”. It is possible in that system to “just live”. You can sleep in, have enough to eat, maybe a couple pints down at the pub, repeat cycle. In the states, most band members actually have a part-time job while they are trying to make it. In Britain, you can just hang out and jam to your hearts content.
There is an entitlement culture where a class of people have lost any sense of shame. In fact, they will actually complain about the benefits they receive. They will tell you it is just not worth getting a job because of taxes, etc. Oh well, party on, Garth!
yubley on August 2, 2009 at 3:08 PM
This is what makes you the Perfect Leftist Moron: You don’t actually listen to anyone except those you already agree with. You skim through a thread to find something to insult, which is why EVERY time you appear you start with insulting a conservative. You don’t read or comprehend: You look for targets, and then repeat the same talking point again and again
Here is Fat Girl crr6 repeating the Buzzword of the Day “identity politics” on a previous Sarah thread:
Janos Hunyadi on August 2, 2009 at 3:08 PM
It presents a serious problem in so far as it holds the exact same veracity as the proffered Hawaiian COLB. Both photocopies of apparently original documents. Until the actual original of either document is presented as evidence in a court of law, neither holds any greater degree of validity.
doriangrey on August 2, 2009 at 3:11 PM
As an Atlanta resident I do feel I have to apologize for Cynthia Tucker. Most Atlanta area residents are nowhere near as stupid as she is. We refer to her “newspaper” as the Atlanta Urinal & Constipation. Please do not think all Atlanta or Georgia residents are as stupid as she is. She added nothing to the show except worn out libtard platitudes
bill30097 on August 2, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Did they even speak about Palin , or why did they intro with the Conan clips?
the_nile on August 2, 2009 at 3:14 PM
yes you are crr6
bill30097 on August 2, 2009 at 3:14 PM
This is because the birth certificate thing is a colossal red herring, allowing the MSM to depict conservatism in simplistic crayola colors for their easily led, unthinking audiences.
Serious conservatives should be more concerned about efficient and effective policy and governance and shouldn’t allow themselves to be distracted by this side issue that permits the MSM to present a facile misrepresentation of conservatives and their most important concerns.
Edouard on August 2, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Malkin really comes off as shrill and childish when surrounded with level-headed, thoughtful people.
crr6 on August 2, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Apparently you haven’t read Michelle’s new book “Culture of Corruption“. Take some time out of your busy trolling and read her book, then lets compare being level-headed and thoughtful.
nwsseeker on August 2, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Just be glad she is all you are having to apologize for, imagine being from California and having to admit that Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstien, ect… are from your state and try telling people that not all Californians are as imbecilic as that bunch…
doriangrey on August 2, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Her point was that the human condition is what it is regardless of the “judgments” of others.

Congratulations on having a typo-free post by the way. Apparently you’ve discovered that if type slowly your greasy, fat fingers won’t get in the way as much.

From the appearance in the link given the document appears real, more backstory is needed for an evaluation of it’s authenticity.

Serious conservatives should be more concerned about efficient and effective policy and governance and shouldn’t allow themselves to be distracted by this side issue that permits the MSM to present a facile misrepresentation of conservatives and their most important concerns.
What is more serious than our Constitution and adhering to its guides and principles.

I have a deep-seated objection to any “news” organization wishing to store THEIR date on MY computer. The clips provided are links to ABC News that use FLASH to display the videos, rather than youtupe or other similar site. Despite having set my privacy and security options to DENY allowing ABCNEWS to store data on my machine, the “prompt” continues.
There is a privacy issue here. There is a control issue as well. WHO controls your computer? You? ABC News? And what data do they intend to store anyway? Sure, I can click “allow” to let them store whatever-it-is they wish to on MY harddrive. But that defeats the purpose of ME retaining control over MY computer.
Look, the MSM news media are the natural enemy of those of us on the right. So where do they get off using my equipmet that I paid for, to serve their purposes, rent free, whatever those purposes are? And why should we trust them?
So, are these videos of Michelle available on youtube or other less privacy-threatening video sites?
